Everywhere you apply for work, they ask the same question and they want to know what type of discharge you got. If the organization is semi respectable, they would not hire you, since it shows that you don't know how to follow orders or you can not be part of a team. That is in the civilian side, as far as the government, you would lose all the government benefits, to include VA loans, the GI Bill and other job preferences that are given to veterans.

a dishonorable discharge will most likely make getting a good job hard to do. if a potential employer sees that you have been given a dh discharge, then why would they take a chance on you working for them?? not sure about the citizenship part you mentioned and it would also not let you rejoin the military either.

Dishonorable discharge means you not only screwed up, you screwed up big time. So big, the military will not take you back ever.
Dishonorable discharge means you can never NEVER own, possess, have in your control or keep a gun. Period. That is federal law. So forget ever becoming any kind of law enforcement officer that has to carry a gun.
Many government jobs are filled by competition. Veterans get extra points. A dishonorable discharge costs you points, so you may as well forget any kind of government job.
Dishonorable discharge means that you can not represent yourself as a veteran therefore you can never get any kind of VA benefits, GI Bill, VA home loan or VA disability payments as a result of your time spent in the military.
Dishonorable discharge means you can never join any kind of military fraternal group such as American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans or Jewish War Veterans. (If you apply, you have to show your DD214 and they will firmly show you to the door.)
Dishonorable discharge means you can not keep your uniforms after you are kicked out as you disgraced the uniform.
Lastly, any employer who is not absolutely desperate for workers will ask to see your DD214 and once he sees it, he will turn you away.
And this is NOT a complete list of the crap that comes with a dishonorable discharge.

If you get a dishonorable discharge, it's practically impossible to get a decent job. Most employers will require a copy of your DD-214 if you apply with them. And when they see "dishonorable" on there, you're pretty much beat.
You cannot get VA benefits, or military retirement.
There are many things you cannot do. It's a real bad stain on your record, and will affect your future, big time.

To start if you were born in America or your parents are citizens living overseas you are a citizen, but a dishonorable can lead to sitting behind bars and you'll never get a job with any government agency or any company that does business with the government. Now that's something to think about.

There are none. A dishonorable discharge is a lot of excess baggage to carry through life.
An honorable discharge needs no answer. The reason is obvious, expiration of term of enlistment.

Just the words "dishonorable discharge" is con enough without all the other negative things that come along with it.
